I figured I'm just giving others a chance! I own a trailer, I like my current trailer and it suits me just fine for the way I currently camp. Look how fast the 21' builds went. The next available space is sometime in May. I didn't want future buyers of the 5.0 to have to wait and wait... (that's my story and I'm sticking to it)

Maybe, but as always, there is no way to get something for nothing. This scheme reduces stability while increasing stress on the trailer structure; it makes the fifth-wheel in some ways more like a conventional "bumper-pull" trailer (by moving the yaw hinge point further back); it requires the truck's rear axle to provide more cornering and lateral control force, without adding load to it for traction. There's a reason no trailer manufacturer offers this system.

As with all fifth-wheel hardware, this device is bigger and heavier (and more expensive -a thousand bucks in this case) than necessary because nothing is made to suit trailers as light as an Escape.
